This table presents information about the developments in domestic turnover of the construction industry (SIC 2008 section F). The results are expressed in terms of indices with base year 2021 and by the percentual change of a period compared to the same period of the previous year. The data can be divided by a number of branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008) and by two size classes.

Data available from January 2005.

Status of the figures: The figures of January until September 2025 are provisional and the figures from the preceding periods are definitive.

Changes as of November 20, 2025: Figures of September and 3rd quarter have been added, the figures of July and August 2025 may have been adjusted.

When will new figures be published? Statistics Netherlands usually publishes the first results six to eight weeks after the end of the reporting period. Figures may be adjusted up to 75 days after the quarter as additional response becomes available. After this, the provisional figures will not be changed until they are made definitive. Five months after the reporting year, all delayed response is used to compile the definitive figures for all months in the reporting year. It is after this that the figures change from provisional to definitive.

Once the definitive figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands only adjusts them if significant corrections are necessary.

Building contractors and developers depend on various socio-economic factors, including property values, underlying sentiment in the housing market, the degree of optimism among downstream businesses and credit conditions. All of these drivers typically track in line with economic sentiment, with recent economic shocks spurring a difficult period for building contractors and developers. Nonetheless, the enduring need for building services, particularly to tackle housing shortages across the continent, ensures a strong foundation of work. Revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.3% to reach €1.3 trillion over the five years through 2025. Operational and supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic reversed the fortunes of building contractors and developers in 2020, as on-site activity tumbled and downstream clients either cancelled, froze or scaled back investment plans. Aided by the release of pent-up demand and supportive government policy, building construction output rebounded in 2021. Excess demand for key raw materials led to extended lead times during this period, while input costs recorded a further surge as a result of the effects of rapidly climbing energy prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Soaring construction costs and the impact of interest rate hikes on both the housing market and investor sentiment led to a renewed slowdown in building construction activity across the continent. However, falling inflation and the start of an interest rate cutting cycle have spurred signs of a recovery in new work volumes, supporting anticipated revenue growth of 2.3% in 2025. Revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 6.7% to €1.7 trillion over the five years through 2030. Activity is set to remain sluggish in the medium term, as weak economic growth and uncertainty surrounding the impact of the volatile global tariff environment on inflation and borrowing costs continue to weigh on investor sentiment. Contractors and developers will increasingly rely on public sector support, including measures to boost the supply of new housing, as countries seek to tackle severe housing shortages. Meanwhile, the introduction of more stringent sustainability requirements will drive demand for energy retrofits.

As a result, the value added figures for the construction industry in this table may differ from the value added figures reported by national accounts. The series is finalized up to 2020 and provisional from 2021 onward.

For quarterly figures, it involves aligning with the results of both the first (‘flash’) estimate of the quarterly accounts, which is published 6 weeks after the end of a reporting quarter, and the second (‘regular’) estimate, which is published approximately 3 months after the end of a reporting quarter. Adjustments are made when a new monthly figure is added to the series.
